William John Corr, ’ K . East Greenwich, R. I. “Bill” Applied Science “He’s a strange fellow himself, and knows it not.” Whose dat guy over there tickling the ivories? Oh, that’s “Bill” from East Greenwich. Bill received his prep- aration at the East Greenwich Academy graduating “magna cum laude”(?). He entered R. I. S. C. with the illustrious class of 1913, and soon became prominent in the chem. lab. He was a member of the famous “Wells House Gang” in his Freshman year, his specialty being rough-housing. However he soon steadied down and is a hard conscientious worker. He’ll make good! Class Football (l) (2); Orchestra ( 1 1 (2); Band (1) (2); Corporal (3); Glee Club (1) (2) (3); Business Manager of Beacon (3). Crawford Peckham Hart, ’ A . Newport, R. I. “Florence” Agriculture “The pretty dimples of his chin and cheek.” Crawford is undoubtedly the best natured fellow in the class and largest in a horizontal plane. His cheery face and ready wit drive away care and sorrow wherever he goes. He follow ' s his daily routine quietly and is envied by the en- gineers of the class, who come to him for aid in solving dif- ficult problems. Manager Class Basketball (2); Principal Musician of Band (2); Chief Musician of Band (3); Glee Club (1) (2); Orchestra (i) (2) (3). Harold Williams Hawxhurst, ®-V Providence, R. I. “Hawkie,” “Harry” Civil Engineering “Tis well to be off with the old love Before you arc on with the new.” This specimen of industrious New England youth has been among us three years. His most serious troubles are girls and lessons, his time being divided between them accord- ing to the strength of their attraction. Hawkie’s talent as a comedian is not lacking and he often creates a dis- turbance vocally. He takes an active part in social events and proves to be a good companion. Glee Club (1) (2) (3); Asst.

Marguerite White and Dorothy Dearborn Elkins, • A ? a PP le cleft in tw0 is not more twin than these two creatures.” Which is which?” That’s the current question even now, for the Twins are like unto the proverbial “two peas.” Some people learned to distinguish between them by the curve of e of the hair; others, to their undoing, by the orange-bordered sweater, r the wai - —m-bouquet. The Twins arc honor students, being alwavs diligent in their business, and have attempted such monstrosities on the side as a “chem” elective and the forestry course. “Twins” are always amiable, most class-spirited, and not so good as to be averse to go out via fire-escapes, blow fuses, and play April Fool jokes on their befuddled classmates. “Dot Twin”— Girl’s Basketball (t); Manager Girls’ Basketball (2); Class Basketball (2); Scholastic Honors (1) (2); Vice-President of Y. W. C. U. (2); Vice- President of Y. W. A. A. (3). ' I?a,s Twin — Girls’ Basketball (1 ) (2); Class Basketball (2); Y. W. C. U. Delegate to Northfield (2); Scholastic Honors (1) (2); Treasurer Y. W. A. A. (3). Esther Loomis Congdon Wakefield, R. I. “Estair,” “Condin” Home Economics “I pray you, be acquainted with this maid; she comes to do you good.” Esther started in with 1912, but stayed away a year, and on returning, when we were Sophomores, became a valuable addition to our class. She is jollity and good- nature itself, being seldom provoked to wrath unless called “a farmer from Rube-Town.” She is a good student, com- bining common-sense and a contempt for the “dig” with natural ability. As for the future, we may say that the symbolical side-curls and pussy-cat are not for our classmate. Class Basketball (2); President of Y. V. C. U.

Raymond Canfield Hopkins, B4 . Shannock, R. I. “Hoppy” Electrical Engineering “A sad face, a reverend carriage, a slow tongue.” “Hoppy” hailed from the green hills of Shannock and joined us as a Freshman. He first made himself famous as “shark” of the math class in his Sophomore year. The fair sex has been a very important factor in his college life, often causing him to forget his mechanics and thermo. We expect to see him shine some day as an electrical en- gineer, and we wish him the greatest success. Student Council (i); Class President (2); Corporal (2); Color Sergeant (3); Class Basketball (3). Walter Colwell Irons, OX . . . Glocester, R. I. “Walt,” “Cap” Agriculture “The good, the young, they say do ne’er live long.” Walt registered as a Freshman in the Agricultural course, in the fall of 1909, and his regularity has been shown in all his actions since that time. The one possible excep- tion to his constancy is his choice of (1 blush to say it) the fair sex. Although there is no doubt of his popularity with the girls, Walt has not yet chosen any particular one. But judging from other things, we have no need to worry about this for in all matters Cap’s decisions are always final. He has many friends and it can be truly said that those who know him best love him most.

Thomas Kyle Central Falls, R. I. “Tom,” “Spartow” Agriculture “And still his tongue ran on.” Tom fell in step with ’13 in our Sophomore year. His peculiarities may be due to the fact that he has spent sev- eral months in Panama and became partly naturalized while there. He is noted for disturbing the peace of the Dormitory in the early hours of the morning. The name “Sparrow” was given him because his tongue is never still. Nevertheless, Tom is a jolly good fellow and ex- pects to be a scientific farmer some day.
